Gems Pocket Cuts Cloud Costs and Latency with Antrix on Huawei Cloud

Gems Pocket runs a non-custodial crypto wallet that lets users onboard with a username, swap across chains, manage NFTs, and play the in-app game Escape Earth. Traffic now spans 220 countries. The team needed infrastructure that kept pace with real-time transactions without blowing the budget. Antrix rebuilt the stack on Huawei Cloud.

Constraints Slowing Performance

Three pain points blocked growth:

The wallet had to stay fast, cheap, and stable for users worldwide.

Cost Pressure Points

Data-transfer and compute bills climbing every sprint

Peak-Time Slowdowns

API response times dragging during peak gameplay and staking

Ops Bottlenecks

No in-house bandwidth to tune multi-chain nodes, NFT storage, or concurrency spikes

The Antrix Solution

We mapped dependencies, sized workloads, and migrated in a four-week window. Core build on Huawei Cloud

Compute

Elastic Cloud Servers (ECS) with load balancers for wallet nodes and APIs.

Storage

Object Storage Service (OBS) for NFTs and user assets

Orchestration

Managed Kubernetes (CCE Turbo) with auto-scaling policies tied to gameplay, staking, and chat volume

Edge

Intelligent Edge Cloud (IEC) nodes placed in high-traffic regions to hit sub-50 ms response where it matters

Observability

Simple Notification Service (SNS) for alerts; daily health reports to the DevOps lead

We tuned cross-chain routing, connection pooling, and database indexes in weekly sprints. Antrix engineers
joined stand-ups, adjusted resource limits, and trimmed idle instances

Results

Costs

Infrastructure + data transfer down 35–40 %. Budget redirected to product.

Latency

Transaction and API calls 50–60 % faster. Staking, swaps, and in-game rewards now feel instant.

Scale

400+ wallets onboarded, 500 monthly transactions, 200 identities created-room to grow.

Uptime

99.9 % with SNS alerts cutting incident response from hours to minutes.

Conclusion

Gems Pocket now runs a lean, responsive stack that scales with users instead of against
them. Antrix handled the Huawei Cloud details; the wallet team ships features.
